termintor. psutil, python 2 and 3
by jr_bob_dobbs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KKDK)
So I remember running Terminator (yet another terminal program) back in 2015 or so on my (at the time) debian system. I'd stumbled onto an old screenshot and decided to try it again. OK: Terminator has Psutil as a dependency.
Right: so I put Psutil in. The slackbuild mentioned python 2 and 3 but the line for python 2 errored out. Right: it's for slackware 14.2 which older and staler than debian oldstable and nobody uses python 2?. So I got it to install for python 3. OK, whatever. Success. Next step.
Then, Terminator itself. It installs itself no muss no fuss, neatly as you please. Great. Into the python 2 directories. Oh. Well, there were no error messages so it must be fine, right?
NOPE: python 2 programs can't call python 3 programs. D'oh!
Can I have a hint please? Either I need to trick (and I'm not feeling tricky today) Psutil into installing as python 2 or trick Terminator into installing into python 3, right?
Thank you.
